Topics, sessions and talks

The Anatomy of a Scam
Alexis Conran unpacks how a handful of scams, some centuries old, continue catching people out today. He traces the psychological tricks and timeless techniques that give these schemes their staying power, showing why familiarity doesn't guarantee protection. Alexis breaks down these classic cons scam by scam, helping attendees recognise the warning signs before they become victims and approach unfamiliar offers and requests with sharper scepticism.
Trust and Transparency
Alexis Conran examines how to stay safe in an increasingly uncertain world. He shares practical strategies for protecting against deception and fraud, drawing on his experience uncovering scams to show attendees how to build genuine trust while staying alert. Attendees leave feeling better equipped to navigate uncertainty with confidence.
Social Engineering
Alexis Conran explores how social engineering works and why it remains so successful, even against well-trained, security-conscious organisations. He explains how manipulators exploit trust, urgency, and human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive information. Alexis shares real examples from his work exposing scammers, giving attendees a clear framework for spotting manipulation tactics and building more resilient habits across their teams.
The Psychology of Deception
Alexis Conran examines how the human brain can be fooled by assumption, unpicking the mental shortcuts that make deception possible. He draws on years of exposing scams and hustles to show how quickly assumptions override scrutiny, even among sharp, experienced audiences. Alexis explains the psychological blind spots exploited by con artists and fraudsters, equipping attendees with a sharper, more questioning approach to the information and people around them.
Why Systems Fail
Alexis Conran looks at why even the most robust security systems fail, arguing that the weakest point is rarely the technology itself but the humans operating it. He explores the decisions, shortcuts and blind spots that undermine strong defences from within. Alexis gives attendees a practical understanding of these human vulnerabilities, helping them close the gaps that scammers and hackers are most likely to exploit.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
